Unscramble Essence Novels & Stories

I flushed and I didn't know what had overcome me but my tongue was tired of being bitten back, "I will not do anything-" He cut me off with a low chuckle, "What a wild imagination you have, Heron," and it was only then that he drew the object from his pocket. I forgot how to breathe. "What-" "Heron Ellis, if you cannot pay me today, you must pay me in another way," his devilish grin cut across his face, dangerous, everything about him was dangerous.
